• Moving around in a document enables you to view different parts of the document that may not be onscreen at the moment. You can use scroll bars, arrow keys, and keyboard shortcuts in any combination.
• Changing the onscreen view helps you focus on the important parts of the document for the task you want to perform. Each application has its own unique set of views, as well as a Zoom control.
• Saving and opening documents lets you store your work for later use and then recall it to the screen when youre ready to continue. The Save As and Open dialog boxes share a common look and feel in all applications.

Microsoft Word is a word-processing application that can help you create many kinds of written documents, including reports, letters, newsletters, and labels. Word excels at any kind of text-based task.

Word is part of the Microsoft Office suite. A suite is a group of applications that are designed to work together and to have similar user interfaces that cut down on the learning curve for each one.

The time you spend now learning the Word interface will benefit you later if you decide to tackle any of the other Office applications.

The most straightforward way to start Word is to select it from the Windows 8 Start screen (or Windows 7 Start menu). You can browse through the list of programs, or you can start typing the applications name and then click its name when it appears.

Depending on how your PC is set up, you may also have a shortcut to Word on your desktop and/or on the taskbar.

You can double-click a data file thats associated with Word, but this method works only after youve created or saved a Word document on your computer.
